Unfortunately not.

But you could give the switchlayers color labels, and the keys will automatically be labeled with those colors.

Edit: Hmmm, it could probably be scripted with markers though... I'll look into it, because I could use it myself too.

If you mean showing the switched to 'switch layers' names on the switch timeline, then they are hiding there as a tool-tip when you hover over the start of the switch keyframe.

I was also going to suggest it could be added via layer markers in a script. :D
